This is a wonderful post explaining how to make animations feel "right" (or why sometimes you don't need to animate at all). 👇

Lowering the flags on 9/11 at the Guantanamo Bay McDonald's for Charlie Kirk is the most dril tweet thing that's ever happened
The flags were lowered last night around the base by order of President Trump after the killing of Charlie Kirk and will stay at half-staff on this U.S. outpost in southeast Cuba until sunset on Sunday.

Huh. I don't remember the federal government asking me what flavor of "white" I am before. This list of what are I think meant to be ethnicities also seems really arbitrary, and doesn't map out onto ethnicities per se. (This is for an NSF annual personnel report for a graduate training program.)

“you’re cosplaying a personality disorder and calling it leadership” sums up pretty well why that place is so toxic

rather than actually run their companies, a lot of people are focused on the performative aspect of presenting themselves as Thought Leaders and their employees are just props
